Tom Holland recently shared a humorous moment regarding his wife Zendaya's role in Christopher Nolan's adaptation of 'The Odyssey.' When asked if Zendaya's character, the goddess Athena, had a romantic relationship with Odysseus, Holland quipped that Athena could not, as she is married to him. This playful possessiveness drew laughter from his co-stars, including Matt Damon.
In the film, Zendaya's Athena appears to Damon's Odysseus, who is on a long journey home. Holland himself plays Telemachus, Odysseus's son. The couple, who have famously kept their romance private, confirmed their marriage in June 2026. Their stylist had previously announced that their wedding had already occurred.
Holland and Zendaya first met on the set of 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' in 2017. They are also set to appear together in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' later in July 2026. 'The Odyssey' is scheduled for release on July 17, 2026.
